Rating metrics: Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 51.8/100, a mean average of 49.8/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 49.8/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.5.

Not much to say ~ a poor quality album that I would not recommend to anyone (despite being a Dylan fan for more than 50 years). The only saving grace is 'Silvio' - which is a song I really like.

Oh dear. This is really the lowest of the low. This has got to be Dylan's worst album. It's a flimsy attempt at? I don't know what. The cover of Shenandoah is quite nice, but in truth, there's nothing really to save this album unlike previous album, knocked out loaded. At least that had the wonderful Brownsville girl to get as close to redeeming it as it possibly could. No such luck here. Awful.

This probably the weakest album in Dylan's studio discography.
